With the photo of Muriqi wearing the home Kosovo jersey, it was claimed that he showed the Kosovo flag to the Romanians.
After research using online search methods, it was found that the photo of Muriqi is from the Kosovo-Switzerland match held on September 7.
Muriqi is wearing the blue jersey, which is the jersey that Kosovo wears when playing at home, based on the presentation of the jerseys by the Football Federation of Kosovo (FFK). (here)
Meanwhile, in the Romania-Kosovo match, the players wore white jerseys, the away jersey. (see here)

The facts show that the photo showing Muriqi in a blue jersey showing the emblem with his left hand is from the Kosovo-Switzerland match.
Therefore, the claim that Muriqi showed the Kosovo flag to the Romanians does not hold true.
